Friend star crash , it seems to me that el mani is in our same northern hemisphere.
In fact, by his photos and his speech, I think he lives close to where I started to grow my first plants, decades ago...


"Manisero", the sky is not very blue in the "terreta"in your pics, with how dazzling it usually looks there ... Maybe you have a strong Saharan haze (" calima") like here now?
Salut !, el mani.

la huerta Valenciana primico :biggrin:

Digues que si, nano ... Una salutació dels "primic@s" de la Sierra Morena als "nan@s" de Llevant.

Di que si, nano... Un saludo de l@s "primic@s" de Sierra Morena a l@s "nan@s" de Levante.

In my area we have also had a few days with Saharan haze; the sky has lost its typical dazzling blue color of tourist postcard, and in the mornings it has a metallic grayish color, which is evolving to a sad blue stained with matte orange.

That if: 29 °C (84'5 °F) daytime maximum in the shade, and 12 °C (53'5 °F) nighttime minimum....

...and this is what the valley to the north of my mountain looked like, in the afternon, with the Saharan haze in the sky. I went down to collect animal manure for my next crop:

Looking good Montuno, can you explain to me what a meteorological “Saharan haze” is, sounds interesting.
l just read that the Japanese Cherry blossom season, this year, is the earliest since records began, 1200 years ago.

40degsouth : in Spanish we uses "calima" o "calima sahariana", but the autotranslator translates it like " haze" (in Spanish: "niebla" o "neblina")...
" Calima sahariana" is sand and dust of that desert that remains in the upper layers of the atmosphere, when certain winds blow from there...

Thanks Montuno,
l believe “haze” is the correct terminology in english; you must get some beautiful sunrises and sunsets with all that ancient Saharan topsoil up in the slip stream and some hot days in summer too I’d imagine.
Cheers,

Not only in the slipstream, my car got covered again with the stuff. Happens several times a year. I live in west-europe.
The stuff goes far and covers cars with it.

Watch this video for some info and pictures:

Thanks CVH for posting that information, l really appreciate it.
Well it’s been unseasonaly hot here and the Black Dogs have started another flush of pistils, it’s something I’ve never seen in....well ever in an indica dominant strain.
Daytime temperatures have been in the very high 20’s for the last two weeks but due points are still on average, about 10 degrees C overnight.
We’ve usually had a few near frosts by now but not this year, a proper indian summer.
I did my first chop today as a bit of botrytis has started creeping in and although resin production is a bit down, due to the higher temperatures, I think, the heads are really chunky and seem to be trapping moisture inside. I’ve found with the Black Dogs if l harvest the biggest buds and let the rest finish properly, an SAR really kicks in and the plants don’t suffer as badly and acceptable losses reduce to near zero.
Here’s a couple of photos,
cheers,
40.
